' IMPROVEMENT 1N VrvrncHINEs non BEVELING AND cnoznve BARRBLS.

The Schedule referred tn in these'Lettexs Patent and making part of thesame y v LHARYA. CRossLEY, of C1cveland,in the county l of Cuyahoga andState of Ohio, have'invented certain l Improvements in Barrel-trussing,Beveling or Chamfering and Orozing-Machines, of which the following is aspecication.

able number' of standards, B B, to the top of which is secured a'stron'gcircular frame, C. These, together,

make the'frame work, which carries and supports the working-parts.

In the centerof the base A is a cylinder, a, in which plays a plunger,b, attached to the under side of a cross-head, D, which has arms, d d,with wings, e e, on

each end, embracing the standards B B, upon which the cross-head is madeto slide.L

Upon the arms d d issecured a ring, E.

Just'outside of theframe are placed force-pumps, F F, connected with thecylinder @by a pipe, g. i

The pumps are set on a reservoir, h, from which they take water.

An outlet-pipe, l, has a cock, m, allowing the water to return to thereservoir.

The pump-rods are worked by a crank-shaft, k, set in arms on the top offrame O, the said shaft k being driven bythe pulley t. I

On the top of the circular frame C is-placcd aframe, G, in which isarranged an upright hollow shaft, H,

having its bearings on the said frame Gr, and which is` driven bythevpulley I.

On the lower-,end of the shaft H is a disk, M, which turnsj ust withinthe circular frame'O. l

' Fitted into grooves in the upper side of the disk M are the slidingtool-holders 4a av n, on the ends of which are secured, to one a cutterfor smoothing the inside of the chine; to another a, cutter for bevelingthe edge of the chine, and to the third a cutter for cutting the crozeinthe chine of a'barrel. Y

The inner ends of the tool-holders have a rack o them, as seen at fn ing. 3.

Within the hub of' the disk M are placed ratchet-. wheels, o, meshingwith the racks on the tool-holders.

thread-vent on its lower end, which meshes with the ratchetwheels o.

The rod p is connected at the top by a ball-jont tc a lever, t, pivotedat S.

` The other end ofthe lever t is connected to an elevating-screw, fv,having a crank-wheel and handle, w, by which it may be turned.

An adjustable screw is set ina projection, u, on the frame G fordetermining the depth to which the lever shall fall. By this arrangementthe tool-holders are carried in and out; v

The operation of this machine is as follows:

A barrel having the truss-hoops upon it is set into the ring E, the hoopresting on its edge, when the pumps are set in motion, and, by thehydraulic, force the barrel is trussed. At the same time, the disk beingin motion, by turning down the level' t, by the screw fv, the rod pcarries the tool-holders outward, and the chine of the barrel is workedon. The rod 11 is again carried up, withdrawing the tools, the cockV'mis opened, when the water ows back into the reservoir h, and the ringE and cross-head D are lowered. The barrel may be taken out Yand set inthe ring E, the other end up, when the operation is repeated, workingoli' the other end in like manner to the first.

. 1. The arrangement of the frame G, ring C, shaft H, rack 11, lever t,screw a c, the' regulating-screw, pinious 0,. disk M, and cutters n,upon the columns B B, and platform A, all constructed, arranged, andoperating substantially as described.

2. In combination with the above, the cylinder a, piston b, frameD d c,ring E, pumps F, and a reservoir, connecting-pipes and pump-operatingmechanism, all substantially as herein described.4
